What to do when you’re not that eager for nightclubs or going out? Everyone has his own way to pass his time but movie business has arisen since pirate’s DVDs flood the market and offers a variety of choice which was not there before, Hollywood  and Bollywood visit our homes without any channel’s intermediary and we can pick the movie we want to see. Technology has its toll into worming his way into becoming a necessity in our everyday life, I wouldn’t complain myself since I’d find my life so dull without it. Video clubs, such as ” Clic Video”, situated in the center of the town , have grown like mushrooms in the city, they rent movie from abroad, and it is “officially” forbidden by the OMDA, the Malagasy Office for Author`s Rights, to sell them even if everyone does it in every corner of Analakely’s streets. Movies are the ones which make the most money due to their higher prices by Clic Video and other shops, but Japanese mangas are kings in the heart of the young customers most of them boys and young adults: Naruto Shippuden, Bleach, One Piece …  Japanmania reigns over American productions, as a fan myself, I would like to say that if you don`t like battles there are more peaceful mangas. The business started three years ago for this club , they begun with Hoby`s dismissal from his ancient job in which he gathered at least hundreds of DVDs. They moved into a wider place last year thanks to its success but still have some problems regarding authority.   Anyway, OMDA`s battle against pirates is not likely to end and I don`t blame them if they get a little dazed with the thriving technology which allowed so many possibilities and easy money for some people. Such a hard choice, I like the movies in Analakely but they are illegals, so many injustice in this world! Note that cinema places are not that cheap compared to all the movies I could watch just with Ar. 2000.

  1. The perfect example is Avatar, Malagasy people can already watch it before the official DVD release. BTW, Tolotra has already done that (http://fanantenana.wordpress.com/2010/01/08/avatar-between-fiction-and-reality/)
